Students are permitted to use four-function, scientific, or graphing calculators to answer the
questions in Section II of the AP Physics B Exam. Students are not allowed to use calculators in
Section I. Before starting the exam administration, make sure each student has an appropriate
calculator, and any student with a graphing calculator has a model from the approved list on page 42
of the 2012-13 AP Coordinators Manual. See pages 3942 of the 2012-13 AP Coordinators Manual for
more information. If a student does not have an appropriate calculator or has a graphing calculator
not on the approved list, you may provide one from your supply. If the student does not want to use
the calculator you provide or does not want to use a calculator at all, he or she must hand copy, date,
and sign the release statement on page 40 of the 2012-13 AP Coordinators Manual.
During the administration of Section II, students may have no more than two calculators on
their desks. Calculators may not be shared. Calculator memories do not need to be cleared
before or after the exam. Students with Hewlett-Packard 4850 Series and Casio FX-9860
graphing calculators may use cards designed for use with these calculators. Proctors should make
sure infrared ports (Hewlett-Packard) are not facing each other. Since graphing calculators
can be used to store data, including text, proctors should monitor that students are using
their calculators appropriately. Attempts by students to use the calculator to remove exam
questions and/or answers from the room may result in the cancellation of AP Exam scores.
Rulers and straightedges may be used for the entire exam.
This exam includes survey questions. The time allowed for the survey questions is in addition to
the actual test-taking time.
Make sure you begin the exam at the designated time.

have finished. . . .
Are there any questions? . . .
Section I is the multiple-choice portion of the exam. You may never
discuss these specific multiple-choice questions at any time in any form
with anyone, including your teacher and other students. If you disclose
these questions through any means, your AP Exam score will be canceled.
Are there any questions? . . .
You must complete the answer sheet using a No. 2 pencil only. Mark all of
your responses beginning on page 2 of your answer sheet, one response per
question. Completely fill in the circles. If you need to erase, do so carefully and
completely. No credit will be given for anything written in the exam booklet.
Scratch paper is not allowed, but you may use the margins or any blank space
in the exam booklet for scratch work. Rulers and straightedges may be used for
the entire exam, but calculators are not allowed for Section I of the exam. Please
put all of your calculators under your chair. Are there any questions? . . .
You have 1 hour and 30 minutes for this section. Open your Section I booklet
and begin.

The questions for Section II are printed in this booklet. You may use any blank space in
the booklet for scratch work, but you must write your answers in the spaces provided for
each answer. A table of information and lists of equations that may be helpful are in the
booklet. Calculators, rulers, and straightedges may be used in this section.
All final numerical answers should include appropriate units. Credit for your work
depends on demonstrating that you know which physical principles would be appropriate
to apply in a particular situation. Therefore, you should show your work for each part in
the space provided after that part. If you need more space, be sure to clearly indicate
where you continue your work. Credit will be awarded only for work that is clearly
designated as the solution to a specific part of a question. Credit also depends on the
quality of your solutions and explanations, so you should show your work.
Write clearly and legibly. Cross out any errors you make; erased or crossed-out work will
not be scored. You may lose credit for incorrect work that is not crossed out.

Directions: Answer all seven questions, which are weighted according to the points indicated. The suggested times
are about 17 minutes for answering each of Questions 1-2 and about 11 minutes for answering each of Questions
3-7. The parts within a question may not have equal weight. Show all your work in this booklet in the spaces
provided after each part.

You are assigned to do some calculations for a movie stunt that involves a car on a straight road. The road,
pictured above, has a hill that rises 8.0 m above the flat region. The top of the hill is a circular arc of radius
20 m. You need to determine whether a car traveling under certain conditions will lose contact with the road at
the top of the hill. There is a stop sign 50 m from the beginning of the hill. You are to assume that a car of mass
1600 kg accelerates uniformly from rest at the stop sign, has a speed of
when it reaches the beginning
of the hill, and then coasts with the engine off. Assume energy losses due to friction and air resistance are
negligible.
(a) Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the car during the first 50 m.
(b) Calculate the time it takes the car to reach the beginning of the hill.
(c) Calculate the magnitude of the net force required to accelerate the car during the first 50 m.
(d) On the dot below that represents the car, draw and label the forces (not components) that act on the car at the
